Weight Loss

Ok ladies... I'm 7-weeks post-partum and 50lbs heavier than I was pre-pregnancy. I'm walk/jogging for 30 minutes 3-days a week, and eating 1200 calories or less per day. I'm hoping this will help me lose some weight, but I'm so frustrated because I can't find any pants that fit. I don't understand how some women are back into their pre-pregnancy clothes already and I can't find clothes that fit anywhere. Does anyone have any advice on a brand of jeans to try? I can't stand maternity clothes because the elastic band always falls down and I'm so crazy it drives me up a wall. I need some jeans, as well as nice work clothes (I'm a teacher) that fit and are comfortable. But I don't want to spend a fortune... I don't know what to do!!!

I'm in the same boat except I'm EBF and have to eat in order to keep up supply. I bought a bunch of used brand name jeans off of eBay. Pre-pregnancy I was a size 10-12L and now I'm having to order 18L. There's a bunch of American Eagle jeans on there for pretty cheap.. Also try looking for Old Navy brand for work pants too. There's a bunch on eBay in good condition as long as your okay with wearing second-hand clothes. The way I see it.. I'm not planning to be this size for more than a few months so I just sucked it up and bought used clothes.. Before this.... I was a total jeans snob... But I'm tired of wearing maternity jeans and sweatpants lol. Good luck!

Ross has some great deals on pants. I got a pair of dress pants and a pair of jeans for less than $20. I'm cheap so it works for me...The biggest pain is your hips have spread out which is why your old pants aren't fitting. If they go back to where they were... it will take MONTHS for that to happen. I want my size 10 back lol

I gained about 55 lbs while pregnant. I have lost 30 and still have 25 to go...:( I am EBF but I haven't lost any weight in the last month or so. Most of it came off during the first 4-5 weeks PP. I thought it would come off more easily than it is. I'm starting to wonder if I will ever be thin again! Still mostly wearing sweats and yoga pants and maternity jeans.
